00:00The next morning, one of his friends came over to move his desk.
00:05Lucas said he felt sick after yesterday.
00:08He's taken a few days off.
00:10He asked me to move his seat.
00:13Not because of you, don't overthink it.
00:15I blinked hard. My eyes stung.
00:18I couldn't understand why being bigger than other girls made people hate me this much.
00:23I only ate half a bowl more than they did.
00:26Was that really so disgusting?
00:28Three days later, Lucas came back.
00:30He walked into the classroom with his arm around Bella Hart's waist.
00:34Bella was captain of the cheer squad.
00:36Every guy's room.
00:38And I, a nobody, people only remembered when they needed a joke.
00:44Damn, Lucas. Finally got yourself a girlfriend?
00:47So is it real or just for show?
00:53What do you mean?
00:54Do I look like the kind of girl who lets random guys put their hands on my waist?
00:58Lucas did not deny it.
01:00People started cheering and teasing them.
01:02I lowered my head and looked at my workbook.
01:05At least no one cared about what happened that day anymore.
01:08No one had time to laugh at me.
01:10That was already good enough.
01:12After that, I buried myself in schoolwork.
01:14On the next AP Calculus test, I beat Ethan Miller, the top student, for the first time.
01:20The moment class ended, Ethan moved his desk beside mine.
01:24Miss Carter said I keep messing up the written explanations.
01:27She told me to learn from you.
01:31New seatmate.
01:33Help me out.
01:33It took me a few seconds to realize I had a seatmate again.
01:37I was a little happy.
01:38So I quickly pulled out my notebook.
01:40Here.
01:41This is what I use.
01:44Good.
01:45When I looked up by accident, I met Lucas' eyes across the room.
01:49He had been watching us for a while.
01:51A second later, he looked away first.
01:53Then he gave a short, ridiculous smile.
01:56I did not know my confession had disgusted him that much.
01:59So much so that he could not even stand to see me doing okay.
02:03The next morning, Ethan brought me two sausage rolls.
02:08I had just taken them when Lucas walked over with a low laugh.
02:14Didn't know you had such specific taste, man.
02:17What do you mean?
02:26For you.
02:29You like this type, right?
02:32Want me to bring you more tomorrow?
02:35Lucas' friends laughed with him.
02:37Once again, our corner of the classroom became the center of attention.
02:41Ethan cursed under his breath.
02:43Then he moved back to his old seat without another word.
02:46From beginning to end, neither of them looked at me.
02:48But every word was about me.
02:50My eyes fell on the pictures scattered across the desk.
02:53The sausage rolls in my hands went cold.
02:56Why would you do this?
03:03What?
03:08Are you that desperate for attention?
03:10Every guy who sits beside you gets the full treatment?
03:16After that day, no one was sitting beside me.
03:19The girls did not talk to me much either.
03:21Everyone liked bright, easy girls.
03:23I was quiet, dull, and easy to leave in a corner.
03:27Even then, I never thought about dieting again.
03:30The only time I had tried to lose weight was because I liked Lucas more than food.
03:34Now, I did not like him anymore.
03:42That Friday, we had volleyball class.
03:45Halfway through class, it started the morning.
03:47Everyone ran toward the gym entrance.
03:49They laughed and screamed while covering their heads.
03:52Before I even made it off the court, my kneecap slipped out of place.
03:57I fell hard.
03:58When the bone slid back, the pain hit its peak.
04:01I lay on the wet court, unable to sit up.
04:04Then a person stopped beside me.
04:06I grabbed one pant leg without thinking.
04:12I can't stand.
04:13Can you help me?
04:17No.
04:18Maybe if you lost weight, you wouldn't fall so hard.
04:22I was soaked through.
04:23Lucas did not look at me.
04:25He walked past me.
04:26Rain kept running into my mouth, but my throat still felt dry.
04:30I could only try to push myself up.
04:33Near the gym entrance, I heard people talking.
04:39She doesn't look like she's faking it.
04:41Should we help her?
04:43You like her?
04:43You go.
04:44It took me almost 10 minutes to sit up.
04:47I still could not stand, so I sat quietly in the rain.
04:51I forced myself to think about what Grandma might make for dinner.
04:54Otherwise, the pain in my knee and the eyes behind me would break me.
04:59In the end, I got up by myself.
05:01The voices at the gym entrance never stopped.
05:03I did not dare look back.
05:05I limped into the security office and called Grandma.
05:08After Grandma heard my kneecap had dislocated, she decided my weight was affecting my health.
05:13From that day on, she started controlling my diet.
05:16She said she had to help me lose weight.
05:20I stayed home for two days before going back to school.
05:24That morning, Grandma only let me eat one whole wheat egg sandwich.
05:28I felt miserable.
05:29But soon, Ms. Carter walked into the classroom.
05:32Behind her stood a strange transfer student.
05:34The transfer student wears a mask and a baseball cap.
05:38Most of his face was hidden in shadow.
05:40Ms. Carter looked around the room.
05:42Her eyes finally stopped at me.
05:44Sebastian Cole, sit beside Lily.
05:47After that, she hurried back to the office.
05:50Sebastian sat in the empty spot beside me.
05:52Neither of us seemed interested in talking.
05:54But Blake could never keep his voice down.
05:57Lucas, look.
05:59This guy is weird.
06:01His whole face is covered.
06:03His whole face is covered.
06:05Bella sat beside Lucas and joined in.
06:07If he looked good, why would he hide his face?
06:10Blake clicked his tongue.
06:12Ghost boy and fat girl.
06:14New couple alert?
06:16Lucas did not react.
06:17He only spun his pen lazily and said nothing.
06:20For almost a month, Sebastian and I barely spoke.
06:23I did not want to talk.
06:25I was afraid the same thing that happened with Ethan would happen again.
06:28Then one afternoon after class, I noticed Sebastian lying across his desk.
06:33Sebastian presses one hand hard against his stomach.
06:36Do you have a stomachache?
06:37Um, yeah.
06:42I'll take you to the nurse's office.
06:43Luckily, he did not pull away when I touched him.
06:46He was almost six feet two.
06:48Most of his weight leaned against me.
06:50Good thing I was sturdy.
06:51Otherwise, I would not have been able to hold him up.
06:54The nurse gave him medicine.
06:55Then she asked me to get him some water.
06:57I nodded quickly.
06:59I ran to buy it, then hurried back.
07:01By then, Sebastian was the only one left in the nurse's office.
07:04He leaned back in the chair.
07:06You disliked me that much and still helped me?
07:09I don't dislike you.
07:12That's pretty kind of you, Lily.
07:15I thought you hated me, so I didn't talk to you.
07:18Why would I hate you?
07:20Sebastian's eyes are clean, dark, and calm.
07:22Because I'm fat.
07:24I suddenly felt he was probably not disfigured at all.
07:28After that day, Sebastian and I slowly got closer.
07:31But he was still strange.
07:32He never took off his mask or baseball cap.
07:36He barely talked to anyone else.
07:37But he always walked laps with me after school.
07:40My weight changed, too.
07:42Without noticing it, I had slimmed down a lot.
07:44Grandma was pleased.
07:46She said I look healthy now.
07:47I never expected Lucas to be the first person at school to notice.
07:51That afternoon, I sat on the lawn, finishing the low-fat turkey bowl Grandma had packed for me,
07:56when Lucas suddenly grabbed my wrist.
07:58You're dieting again?
08:00It's none of your business.
08:02Lucas pulled me toward the cafeteria.
08:04You get dizzy when you starve yourself.
08:06Did you forget?
08:08Planning to pass out again?
08:09And you've trained Koss isandably?
08:11If you don't let go, I'll bite you!
08:14Lucas laughed out of anger.
08:16You really don't know who is good to you?
08:17I took one step back and looked at him calmly.
08:20Drop the act.
08:23After that, I turned and walked back to the classroom.
08:27Sebastian was lying across his desk alone.
08:29I hurried over.
08:31Is your stomach hurting again?
08:34Yeah.
08:34He looked at me and lowered his eyes.
08:36I wanted to buy medicine.
08:39But I forgot where the nurse's office was.
08:43I saw you downstairs just now.
08:46But you were talking to some guy.
08:48So I didn't want to interrupt.
08:52Lily, it hurts.
08:53I'll go buy it for you right now.
08:55Wait here.
08:56Sebastian pressed one hand to his stomach and forced himself to stand.
09:00I'll go with you.
09:01That way I can remember the route.
09:03I held his arm and helped him toward the nurse's office.
09:06When we went downstairs, we ran into Lucas.
09:09Sebastian suddenly lost his balance and fell against me.
09:15I hurt too much to walk.
09:19Let me rest for a second, okay?
09:21I could not refuse.
09:23Lucas's eyes turned cold at once.
09:26He had just taken one step toward us when Blake and Bella caught up from behind.
09:32Whoa, Fatty and Ghost Boy?
09:35What are you two doing?
09:39What did you call her?
09:43Fatty.
09:43Am I wrong?
09:45If she's not fat, then am I?
09:50Yes.
09:52You're not fat.
09:55You're just a twig.
09:58Before Blake could swing, I grabbed Sebastian and ran.
10:03Only when we reached the nurse's office did I let out a breath.
10:08Thank you, Sebastian.
10:10But next time, just ignore him.
10:12He won a taekwondo tournament before.
10:15If you mess with him, you'll only get beaten up.
10:17A trace of mockery flashes through Sebastian's eyes.
10:21But he was bullying you.
10:25Lily, I can't let anyone bully you.
10:30The next day, Blake came to school with bruises all over his face.
10:35Blake's eye is swollen and his lip is split.
10:40If I find out who did it,
10:43if I find out who did it, I'll kill him.
10:45Forget your face for a second.
10:47Listen to this.
10:48I walked past the office earlier.
10:50The principal was talking about some billionaire's son in senior gear.
10:54He just transferred back from overseas.
10:57Tringlers.
10:59Who do you think it is?
11:00I looked up.
11:01I met Sebastian's clean, calm eyes.
11:04He pointed at a problem on his worksheet.
11:07Lily, can you explain this one to me?
11:10By late spring, graduation was only a month away.
11:14For the graduation showcase,
11:15Bella was in charge of costume sizes.
11:18She stood at the front of the classroom with a clipboard
11:20and asked everyone.
11:23Lily, should I put you down for XXL or XXXL?
11:29I looked up for my corrections.
11:31For some reason, I felt embarrassed saying it.
11:35I wear a small.
11:38The classroom went quiet.
11:44Everyone turned to look at me.
11:46Their shock told me no one had really noticed the change
11:48except Sebastian and Lucas.
11:50After months of eating healthy and walking laps,
11:53I had lost a lot of weight.
11:57Holy shit.
11:58Is that Lily?
11:59I told you.
12:00Her face was always pretty.
12:02Just had to lose the weight.
12:03Ethan, who had not spoken to me in a long time,
12:06looked stunned too.
12:07That look made me even more uncomfortable.
12:10Not at my face.
12:12Isn't the lead singer spot still open?
12:14Maybe Lily should do it this year.
12:16Bella had always been the default lead
12:18for school performances.
12:23Lily's not as tall as me.
12:24I'm not sure she can pull off the dress.
12:27She's prettier than you.
12:28We can buy a different dress.
12:32What the hell is that supposed to mean?
12:34You're defending Fat Girl now?
12:37She lost some weight and suddenly you like her?
12:43Why not?
12:45Besides, she might not even look at me now.
12:48Something in that sentence must have hit Lucas.
12:54The whole room went silent.
12:59Sorry.
13:03My hand slipped.
13:05The interruption killed Ethan's mood to keep talking.
13:08When Lucas bent down to pick up the glass,
13:10a shard cut into his palm,
13:12he acted like he did not feel it.
13:14His eyes landed on the box of bandages on my desk.
13:18Can I borrow one?
13:20It won't stop bleeding.
13:22Wow.
13:23You really know how to put on a show.
13:25I did not know why he had to come to me for this.
13:28No.
13:35I get it.
13:37In the end, I became the lead singer for the graduation showcase.
13:41After that day, I experienced a lot of firsts.
13:44The first time someone called me pretty on the school subreddit.
13:47The first time a boy asked me out.
13:49The first time, so many people were nice to me for no reason.
13:53Boys from other classes even came to our room between periods.
13:58Lily, I accidentally got an extra coffee.
14:00You want it?
14:01I refused out of habit.
14:04But Sebastian stopped the boy before he could leave.
14:13Lily, I think my blood sugar is low.
14:16I want the coffee.
14:18But I forgot my wallet.
14:20His calm voice did not sound convincing at all.
14:22It's okay.
14:25I have cash.
14:34Can I buy it?
14:35My friend wants it.
14:53I don't know what I'm asking.
14:53My husband wants it to be.
14:57My friend wants it.
15:01It can beεΎ©ζ¨.
15:16I will have an extra coffee for me.
15:16I don't even know.
15:16I have something withiΔdzy and Kievan.
15:16It will last two weeks.
15:19I have to get started
15:19to follow the hotel in the negΓ³cio room ΡΠ² indexing box soon.
15:21.
16:12Nothing bad happened again before graduation.
16:14The only thing people gossiped about was Lucas and Bella breaking up.
16:24Lucas walked past me without slowing down.
16:29Sebastian glanced ahead.
16:34By the time finals ended, I already knew I had done better than usual.
16:38The day after results came out, Ms. Carter asked Rachel to organize one last senior dinner.
16:42When I arrived, I saw Lucas outside the restaurant. I looked away as if I had not seen him.
16:47I tried to walk around him. Lucas grabbed my wrist. He pulled me back until my back hit his chest.
16:53Are you insane?
16:54No matter how I beg now, you won't give me another chance, right?
16:58I don't know what you're talking about.
17:00Don't lie. You know exactly what I mean. You know I said I never liked Bella because I wanted you
17:07to hear it.
17:08Yes, I know. I also know you liked me a long time ago.
17:12I've realized how I wouldn't have been stupid enough confessed to you.
17:15I've realized how I wouldn't have been stupid enough confessed to you.
17:18The first time I tried to lose weight, I hid it from everyone.
17:22I wanted to lose weight as fast as possible.
17:24I wanted to wear the dress I had loved for months.
17:27Then I wanted to confess to Lucas.
17:29I ate almost nothing.
17:31I walked home every day instead of taking the bus.
17:34But Lucas noticed my pale face.
17:36He also noticed my hand pressed against my stomach.
17:39He had been about to leave for basketball with Blake and the others.
17:41Then he stopped and frowned.
17:44Period cramps?
17:45I shook my head.
17:46I'm fine.
17:48Lucas did not believe me.
17:49He kept insisting on taking me to the hospital.
17:51I had no choice but to tell him I had been dieting.
17:54His frown deepened.
17:55He used the clinic as an excuse and signed us both out of school.
17:58Why care that much about what people think?
18:00Even starving yourself is fine?
18:02Yeah.
18:03But after a long silence, he still gave in.
18:06Can you stop starving yourself?
18:09If anyone makes another joke about your body, I'll shut them up.
18:12Is that enough?
18:14Don't you think I'm fat?
18:16Like this, I'm kinda ugly, right?
18:18Lucas stopped walking.
18:19I looked.
18:21You're cute.
18:22Everywhere.
18:23That was the moment my crush on him grew out of control.
18:26I squeezed his hand back.
18:27For the first time, I tried to climb out of my own insecurity.
18:30Then, in the next second, he pushed me right back in.
18:33For a long time after that, I could not get up again.
18:36Lucas's lashes trembled.
18:37Yeah.
18:38His grip on my wrists loosened.
18:41I liked you a long time ago.
18:45But being with you meant everyone would stare, joke, and laugh behind my back.
18:49So you don't get to ask me for another chance now.
18:51His confession came too late.
18:52I turned and walked away.
18:54I heard his voice behind me.
18:55It was low.
18:56But I liked you more than any of them ever did.
18:59I did not stop.
19:00I took a breath.
19:02Then I pushed open the restaurant door.
19:04Inside, most of our class was already there.
19:07Sebastian had not arrived yet.
19:10Lily.
19:11You did well.
19:12Come sit.
19:12Bella's face darkened the moment I walked in.
19:14Miss Carter, don't let Lily's grades fool you.
19:18What are you talking about?
19:20Come on, Lily.
19:21We've already graduated.
19:23It doesn't matter now.
19:24She was secretly dating someone before finals.
19:28Who?
19:29Who is Lily's boyfriend?
19:32Sebastian Cole.
19:35I mean, Lily acts like such a good girl.
19:38Who knew she had a thing for the weirdest guy in school?
19:43He never takes off that mask.
19:47Maybe there is something ugly hiding underneath.
19:51But Lily, you don't have to deny him just because your boyfriend is ugly.
19:56When he gets here, why don't you ask him to take off that mask?
20:01Let everyone see those burn scars.
20:04Compared to her rumor about me dating Sebastian, I hated her insulting more.
20:09Bella, have you ever seen scars on Sebastian's face?
20:13No, but then you made it up?
20:16Everyone says it.
20:19Everyone also says you only made cheercaftain because your mom paid off the coach.
20:24So according to you, that must be true too, right?
20:28Who the hell said that?
20:30Bella looked around the room.
20:31The restaurant got noisy.
20:33Another group of students crowded around Miss Carter.
20:36Miss Carter, I heard the principal say some billionaire's son was in our class.
20:40Who is it?
20:41Is he hot?
20:42He has to be hot, right?
20:44He's rich.
20:45Miss Carter was pulled in two directions.
20:48The room grew louder and louder.
20:50Then the door opened again.
20:52Everything went quiet.
20:53Everyone looked toward the entrance.
20:55A tall man stood there.
20:56Sebastian stands at the entrance without his mask or baseball cap.
21:00For a second, the whole room forgot how to breathe.
21:03His features were sharp and clean.
21:05The man was almost too good looking to be real.
21:08The girl closest to the door blushed first.
21:10Um, are you looking for someone?
21:13Ms. Carter finally let out a breath.
21:15Then she smiled.
21:17You don't recognize him?
21:19The person you were all talking about is standing right in front of you.
21:23Is Sebastian Cole?
21:25The billionaire's son?
21:26What the hell?
21:28So this gorgeous guy is Sebastian?
21:30The same Sebastian who transferred back from overseas?
21:32And apparently, Lily's boyfriend.
21:36Sebastian looked a little unfamiliar without the mask.
21:40Fine.
21:42I accept.
21:43Accept what?
21:45The restaurant exploded.
21:48No way!
21:49That's Ghost Boy?
21:51I knew his eyes were too pretty for him to be ugly.
21:53I thought that mask was hiding scars.
21:56Are we sure he's not some actor?
21:59The dinner ended in scattered gasps and whispers.
22:02On the way home, Sebastian answered every question I had.
22:05The bruises on his face had not healed yet.
22:07As for why he still took finals after being accepted early, Sebastian looked at me calmly.
22:13To go to the same university as you, girlfriend.
22:17You misunderstood.
22:19Bella was just-
22:19This is my first relationship.
22:21My parents were always working.
22:23I grew up with nannies.
22:25Once, they both missed my birthday.
22:26So I ran away from home.
22:27I thought someone would notice.
22:29No one did.
22:30After that, I got used to it.
22:32So even rich families could be this cruel.
22:35Sebastian noticed my eyes turning red.
22:38Don't feel bad for me.
22:41This is the first time someone chose me and didn't give me up.
22:46That's enough.
22:47Sebastian pulled me into his arms.
22:49Don't cry, Lily.
22:51The tears hung in my eyes.
22:53By the way, what were you saying I misunderstood?
22:56Nothing.
22:59Boyfriend.
23:00He needed love too much.
23:02He never pushed too far.
23:04Good night, girlfriend.
23:06The most he did was kiss my forehead when he walked me home.
23:09By the end of summer, I had fully accepted that Sebastian Cole was my boyfriend.
23:14Other than being clingy, he had almost no flaws.
23:17On the first day of college, reality hit me fast.
23:20Hello, everyone.
23:21I am Lily Taylor.
23:23Out of my three roommates, two ignored me when I said hello.
23:26The last one was Bella Hart.
23:28What a coincidence.
23:31Most students from our high school had stayed in state for college.
23:34But some coincidences were still annoying.
23:38Like that evening when Sebastian and I were eating dinner.
23:41Lucas was in his major.
23:46I felt depressed for a few seconds.
23:49Then I remembered Lucas was good at fighting.
23:51I quickly warned Sebastian.
23:54Don't get into it with Lucas when you're alone.
23:57You can't beat him.
23:58If he gives you trouble, call campus security.
24:01Sebastian was picking the carrots out of my food.
24:05How do you know I can't beat him?
24:07This concerned his personal safety.
24:09Don't act tough.
24:10He's really good at fighting.
24:11I've watched Lucas play several games.
24:13He rarely loses.
24:15Maybe I sounded too serious.
24:17After a long pause, he pushed the food he had picked clean back to me.
24:22Then he nodded.
24:23Got it.
24:25I'm useless.
24:26I won't mess with him.
24:27I forgot Sebastian was sensitive.
24:29For the rest of dinner, he barely spoke.
24:31He still quietly peeled shrimp for me.
24:33I bit my fork and looked at him carefully.
24:36The guilt got worse.
24:38After dinner, I changed my clothes and then we went for a walk.
24:43From the track to the quiet path by the campus lake, I apologized to Sebastian the whole way.
24:49After a long time, he finally softened a little.
24:52Sebastian pulled me into his arms.
24:59Lily, comfort me.
25:02I am comforting you.
25:04Not enough.
25:05Kiss me.
25:06Please.
25:07His voice was so close that I shivered.
25:10My breath hitched.
25:11Where?
25:13Here.
25:14I stood on tiptoe and kissed him.
25:17Sebastian held the back of my head.
25:21Leave a mark.
25:22Let everyone know I'm yours.
25:25Done.
25:28It felt nice.
25:30Next time, leave a few more, okay?
25:33Wasn't it supposed to go both ways?
25:35Why didn't he kiss me?
25:36No.
25:37Hopefully, he would understand what he had done wrong.
25:40And next time, he would offer to kiss me too.
25:43After college started, I joined the volleyball club.
25:46At first, everything seemed normal.
25:47Then I realized Coach was strange.
25:50Whenever he corrected my posture, he stood too close.
25:53Lily, raise your arms.
25:54He came up behind me.
25:55I could almost feel his breath near the back of my neck.
25:58I stepped away quietly.
25:59Lily, you can just tell me what to fix.
26:02But you're too stiff, freshman.
26:04Other girls wish I'd help him myself.
26:08Wow, Lily.
26:09Coach is so nice to you.
26:13If you didn't already have a boyfriend, you could totally consider him.
26:16Boyfriend?
26:17You have a boyfriend?
26:20You have a boyfriend and didn't say anything?
26:22What were you leading me on?
26:23Did you ask?
26:24And honestly, you're not exactly worth leading on.
26:27Who do you think you're talking to?
26:29Your boyfriend isn't even on his level.
26:31He's useless and creepy.
26:34Before I could think, I walked up to Bella.
26:36Then I slapped her hard across the face.
26:38I warned you not to insult Sebastian again.
26:43You hit me?
26:44Next second, she lunged at me.
26:46We crashed into each other.
26:48All the anger I had swallowed for years finally came out.
26:51Three girls finally pulled me away.
26:53You started it.
26:54Stay after practice.
26:55Run drills until I say you're done.
26:58Bella climbed up from the ground.
27:03Bella dusts herself off and smiles like she has won.
27:07Under the evening heat, I stayed on the court and ran drills alone.
27:10By the time coach finally let me go, everyone else had already left.
27:14I dragged myself back to the dorm.
27:16After I showered, I was too tired to move.
27:18I was also starving.
27:20Then Sebastian called and made me come downstairs.
27:22The moment I saw him, I fell into his arms and started complaining.
27:26Turn around.
27:30Sebastian, I'm so hungry.
27:32I barely ate anything today.
27:34I really want sausage rolls.
27:36Sebastian went quiet.
27:38He helped me sit on the bench nearby.
27:40Then he went to buy food for me.
27:45After I finished eating, he checked his phone.
27:53Go back and rest, Lily.
27:55I have something to do.
27:57I'll come find you later.
28:00Okay.
28:01I'll head back.
28:05Then he turned away.
28:06But I remembered the message I had accidentally seen on his phone.
28:11I quietly followed him.
28:12For some reason, I suddenly thought of Blake showing up with bruises back in senior year.
28:17Pieces of old memories came together in my head.
28:20And they all pointed to one fact.
28:22Sebastian had been pretending to be weak this whole time.
28:25That guess was confirmed when I stood outside the pool hall.
28:29Sebastian stood beside a pool table.
28:31Coach and three other guys lay scattered across the floor.
28:34Sebastian did not have a scratch on him.
28:42Coach, you were interested in my girlfriend?
28:45No, no.
28:47I wasn't.
28:48I swear.
28:54My girlfriend had a rough day.
28:56How are you planning to make it up to her?
28:58What do you want me to do?
29:03Sebastian!
29:03My voice was calm.
29:05His whole body froze.
29:06Until Coach and the others ran out in a panic.
29:09Sebastian still did not turn around.
29:11I walked over and crouched in front of him.
29:13Then I took the broken pool cue out of his hand.
29:16Sebastian lowered his hand.
29:17His throat moved a few times before he spoke.
29:22I'm sorry.
29:28Are you going to break up with me?
29:30I looked up at once.
29:32His eyes were red.
29:33He looked nothing like the harmless Sebastian who leaned on me and said his stomach hurt.
29:38I sighed and curled my fingers into his palm.
29:41Only then did he calm down a little.
29:43Of course I'm not breaking up with you over this.
29:45I just don't understand why you lied to me.
29:49Because I knew you didn't like me.
29:52You only agreed to date me because you felt sorry for me.
29:56If I didn't look pitiful enough, you would leave.
30:02Sebastian, look at me.
30:04I feel sorry for a lot of people.
30:07But I don't date them just because they're pitiful.
30:13Liking someone isn't charity.
30:16It's not something I hand out because someone looks sad.
30:20You can't lie to me.
30:33If I'm lying, I'll never get to eat sausage rolls again.
30:37That night we walked through the quiet street outside campus.
30:41I swung his hand as I walked.
30:43Listen.
30:44We're actually perfect for each other.
30:47You're really good at fighting.
30:49And I'm pretty good too.
30:52Today, I basically pinned Bella to the ground.
30:55She barely touched me.
30:57Her face is going to be swollen for at least a week.
31:04Next time, you don't have to do it.
31:06I'll handle them.
31:07But Bella is a girl.
31:09I'll use a pink bat.
31:17I like you so much, Sebastian Cole.
31:20A sudden laugh came from not far away.
31:22So now you're into violence?
31:23Just because he beat up a few guys for you, you're obsessed?
31:26He started walking toward him.
31:28I grabbed his arm in time.
31:31Is he even worth fighting?
31:32Lucas is obviously weaker than you.
31:35If you fight him, that's basically bullying.
31:37You could make him cry without even trying.
31:39What if he breaks down and calls the police?
31:41Coward.
31:42You couldn't even like someone in public.
31:44What makes you think you can compete with me?
31:46Lucas's face darkened.
31:47He gave a cold smile and stepped forward.
31:50I pulled the pepper spray from my bag.
31:51Then I sprayed him straight in the face.
31:53Lucas staggers back and slams his shoulder into a tree.
31:57No one helped him.
31:58He would probably need a while before he could open his eyes again.
32:01For a second, the way he stood there in pain reminded me of myself in the rain.
32:06Back then, I had sat alone on the court.
32:08No one was willing to help me.
32:10Now Lucas looked just as helpless.
32:13Lucas, seeing you like this makes me feel like I finally walked out of that rain.
32:16I would not choke on that humiliation anymore.
32:19I did not need him to suffer exactly the way I had suffered.
32:21This was enough.
32:22Sebastian was not the kind of guy Lucas said he was.
32:25He did not only solve problems with violence.
32:27Before going after Coach, he had already collected screenshots, messages,
32:31statements from other girls, and proof that Bella had cheated her way into her cheer scholarship.
32:36Then he submitted everything to the school.
32:38The next day, Coach was suspended from the club team.
32:40Bella lost her scholarship.
32:41She was removed from the cheer program.
32:43Everything happened so fast, Sebastian met my suspicious eyes.
32:47Then he lazily touched my lashes with one finger.
32:50My mom graduated from this school.
32:52She donated a library three years ago.
32:55Right now, she's talking to the school about funding two new dorm buildings.
32:59I met Sebastian's mother once on campus.
33:01Please be nice to him.
33:03That little brat told you we abandoned him?
33:06That year, he was only seven years old.
33:09We missed one birthday dinner because of work.
33:11So he took his father's phone and texted our assistant.
33:14He told him to prepare the private jet.
33:16He wanted to fly to Melbourne alone.
33:18When we caught him, he was afraid his father would punish him.
33:21So he hid in the hotel for two days and told everyone he had run away from home.
33:25If the housekeeper hadn't found him eating cake in there, your boyfriend would still be telling people he survived in
33:31the wild.
33:31I stared at her.
33:32So that was the tragic childhood he told me about.
33:36Sebastian and I got engaged before senior year of college.
33:39After the engagement party, he was a little drunk.
33:42He pulled me onto the porch swing.
33:44Then he held me in his lap.
33:45When I first saw you, I thought you looked like Winnie the Pooh.
33:48You shouldn't lose weight.
33:49You were already cute.
33:50But other girls all looked the same to me.
33:53Tall, short, thin, curvy.
33:55It didn't matter.
33:56That's because you're face blind.
33:58Maybe.
33:59At first, I thought I liked soft, sweet girls.
34:03But later, I realized it was never about that.
34:09I love you, Lily.
34:11Not because of how you look.
34:14Not because of what anyone else sees.
34:17I love the way you protect people.
34:19I love the way you take food seriously.
34:22I love the way you look at someone everyone else ignores and still choose to be kind.
34:27As long as it's you, I'll fall for you every time.
34:30What a coincidence.
34:32Same here.
34:33Back then, everyone said Sebastian was ugly and covered in scars.
34:37But I kept thinking, if no one wanted him, I could take him home.
34:43Sebastian lowered his head and kissed me.
34:49Good thing I picked him up first.
